The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3477: Battle, Becoming Stronger! (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
This Heavenly God Realm youth has surprisingly grasped the Destruction Divine Dao!
Everyone knows that simply comprehending the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao earns someone the title of an Aeon Genius, so what about the genuine Destruction Divine Dao?
The aloof young man whom she had once dismissed doesn't seem as straightforward as he looks!
Still, even though Zhang Qiao Ling felt stunned, her sword technique showed no hint of disorder. After all, as a prodigy from the Outer Realm Star Xuan Domain, her combat prowess shone brightly despite her youth, surpassing countless others.
Lightning danced along the Purple-Blue Long Sword, and in an instant, the entire sky darkened with heavy clouds. Bursts of lightning churned inside those clouds, as if echoing Zhang Qiao Ling's sword strike!
The next instant, Zhang Qiao Ling thrust her long sword forward, its forms shifting without end, sword beams exploding outward, thunder booming fiercely, and blue-purple lightning howling through the air, making the void quake. Even more alarming, endless thunderbolts rained down from the turbulent clouds, their oppressive thunder might swiftly fusing into the Thunder Sword Light that Zhang Qiao Ling had released!
One sword strike summoning a celestial event!
This revealed the deep mastery Zhang Qiao Ling held over the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao!
While Ye Chen's Destruction Divine Dao far outstripped the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao in power, Zhang Qiao Ling noticed that Ye Chen hadn't fully immersed himself in the Destruction Divine Dao yet!
That gave her a fighting chance!
The blazing thunder radiance smashed against the frosty sword beam from Ye Chen, and right away, the void cracked apart!
Up in the heavens, the dreadful thunder blasts could level entire nearby cities and rupture eardrums!!!
"Pft!"
Gu Han and Zhang Chi observed the tangled display of thunder glow and sword glow with quivering gazes. By now, they had unleashed their full Spiritual Energy Barriers and even deployed defensive artifacts!
Nevertheless, blood trickled from the edges of their lips!
Merely a sliver of the fallout from the confrontation between Ye Chen and Zhang Qiao Ling sufficed to wound them gravely!
Thump thump thump!
Ye Chen staggered back multiple steps through the void, each footfall ripping the space asunder!
As the thunder glow and sword beam faded away, Gu Han and Zhang Chi glanced toward Zhang Qiao Ling, finding her rooted in place, her delicate features a bit ashen with labored breathing, yet overall, Ye Chen's fearsome sword hadn't harmed her!
What about Ye Chen?
They shifted their eyes to Ye Chen...
There, they saw! Ye Chen's chest now bore a blackened scorch mark! Flesh torn apart, wisps of smoke rising!
His very heart had been seared by Zhang Qiao Ling's horrifying blue-purple thunder!
Gu Han and Zhang Chi drew in sharp breaths!
With the physique of the Holy Ancestor Realm, that kind of damage ranked among the worst possible wounds!
To say nothing of the Heavenly God Realm!
Was Ye Chen about to fall?
A chilly smirk tugged at Zhang Qiao Ling's lips, poised to mock a bit, but in the following instant, her grin turned rigid!
How come?
For at that moment, though Ye Chen appeared gravely wounded, his expression remained composed; even more so, the blackened heart regained its rosy hue at a noticeable pace, the exploded chest sprouted new tissue swiftly, and the dire wound was actually mending?
Zhang Qiao Ling, Gu Han, and Zhang Chi stood stupefied...
Utterly stupefied!
Although a Heavenly God Realm being's life force is already incredibly robust, no records existed of any Heavenly God Realm cultivator healing so rapidly mid-battle from such damage!
Was this even human resilience?
Not even elite demonic creatures or the mightiest Divine Deity Beast Tamers across the All Heavens could achieve this degree!
Ye Chen gave a faint smile, knowing his vitality ranked as one of his strongest strengths; an injury like this meant little to him.
As for the Annihilation Power embedded in the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao?
Haha, since he had already attained the Destruction Divine Dao, such minor annihilation force posed no threat.
At the same time, a spark of thrill lit up in Ye Chen's eyes!
He sensed a portion of the unassimilated energy from the Purple Cloud Stone within him blending into his blood!
Earlier, amid the exchange with Zhang Qiao Ling, Ye Chen's insight into martial techniques and the Destruction Divine Dao had sharpened further; now, as long as his martial foundation kept pace, taking in the Purple Cloud Stone's energy would bring no backlash!
The divine glow in Ye Chen's eyes grew brighter; he licked his lips and eyed Zhang Qiao Ling like a hunter sizing up quarry!
Having always been invincible since youth, the haughty Zhang Qiao Ling trembled beneath Ye Chen's stare!
Why?
Why did this fellow, despite seeming to come out worse in the exchange, wear such a look!
Zhang Qiao Ling's scalp crawled with unease!
Even with her immense pride, she couldn't stop questioning herself...
Had she stirred up someone she never should have?
But there was no moment for reflection; Ye Chen's form blurred into motion, lunging straight at Zhang Qiao Ling, sword beams raging wildly and swelling fast!
The immensely weighty Slaughter Sword, powered by Ye Chen's overwhelming might and wrapped in pure destructive essence, came crashing down!
In the void, it vaguely split the space in half!
Zhang Qiao Ling's lovely eyes narrowed sharply, cold sweat beading at her brow; confronting Ye Chen's blade up close amplified her strain!
She inhaled deeply and cried out, "Nine Heavens Thunder Element Slash!"
Against Ye Chen's strike, Zhang Qiao Ling unleashed everything she had!
She couldn't afford to restrain herself; though she battled merely a Heavenly God Realm warrior, holding back would surely lead to her defeat, she sensed!
Besides, was it mere fancy? Why did Ye Chen's Destruction Divine Dao sword feel a touch more potent than earlier?
Lightning converged, forming intensely packed sword beams that whirled around the Purple-Blue Long Sword, while the thunder-filled sky turned into a torrent of thunder radiance cascading downward, infusing immense power into Zhang Qiao Ling's blade!
With a twist, the Purple-Blue Long Sword met Ye Chen's pitch-black, blood-gleaming Slaughter Sword!
The instant the edges met, Zhang Qiao Ling's fair face stiffened against her will!
Her body tensed up everywhere!
So immense!
Ye Chen's sword carried such immensity!
The sword style Ye Chen wielded, infused with Great Dao Intent and True Martial Intent, already left Zhang Qiao Ling amazed; even its force proved astonishingly potent?
Not even the body cultivators of Star Xuan Domain could boast such raw might as Ye Chen's!
With a deafening explosion, in this collision, Ye Chen was pushed back once more...
However!
Unlike the initial bout, Ye Chen now sported only a bloody puncture on his shoulder from the thunder, a far milder wound!
Furthermore, given Ye Chen's ridiculous vitality, this sort of damage barely counted as one!
Zhang Qiao Ling drew a steadying breath, anxiety building inside her!
It looked like she held the advantage for the moment, but how much longer could she hold on?
Against this almost immortal aloof youth, how long could she keep it up?
